At least three women have recently come forward, alleging that they had romantic relationships with Robert F Kennedy Jr in the past year, according to a report by Mediaite.
The women reportedly connected with Kennedy through the Children’s Health Defense, an organization he chairs that is known for its anti-vaccine stance. These allegations come on the heels of a highly publicized “emotional and digital affair” between Kennedy and New York Magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi, who is nearly 40 years younger than the former presidential candidate.
The revelation of these new allegations adds another layer to an already turbulent narrative surrounding Kennedy’s personal life. His camp has vehemently denied the claims, issuing a statement to Mediaite that characterized the reports as “untrue.”
The details of relationship with Kennedy were disclosed through a series of text messages from the women, sparked by news of his relationship with Nuzzi.
The Daily Mail reported that the friends of Kennedy’s wife, actress Cheryl Hines, suggest that she may soon file for divorce, potentially prompted by the public scrutiny surrounding her husband’s romantic entanglements. However, Page Six reported that if Hines decides to end her marriage to Kennedy, it may stem more from his connections with figures like Donald Trump than his relationship with Nuzzi.
In a bid to quell the controversy, Kennedy’s spokesperson asserted, “Mr. Kennedy has had no romantic relationships with any woman other than his wife since their marriage.”
Interestingly, Kennedy has been on leave from his role as chairman and chief legal counsel of Children’s Health Defense since April 2023, as noted on the organization’s website.
The implications of these allegations extend far beyond Kennedy’s personal life. They could create significant challenges for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, which Kennedy endorsed after withdrawing from his own bid for the White House. While Trump has attempted to distance himself from the controversy, the growing scandal surrounding Kennedy may become an unwanted distraction from Trump.
